Customer Reviews

Love Judy! Love Mickey!5
It's great to finally have these four classics on DVD. Although not pristine transfers, the overall quality is good, and this box set is a definite must for fans. There are lots of fun extras, but don't get too excited over the radio broadcasts. Though nostalgic, some are of such poor quality they're difficult to appreciate. The bonus disc has an interview with Mickey, whose memories are still startlingly vivid. If you love Mickey and Judy, there's a lot to love in this box set.

WHY THE PRICE DIFFERENCE?4
Amazon.com $34.99 US. Amazon.ca $43.68. With our currencies almost at par, why the 24.8% price hike in Canada?

Great Song and Dance Fare -- Plus Richard Quine5
This film featured some very clever song/dance routines by Mickey and Judy -- and if you watch carefully, you will conclude that he was a better dancer than she (though Judy won hands down in the song department).

This was one of the few movies starring Richard Quine (in a supporting role) before he reached his acting zenith (Brad Craig in 1943's "We've Never Been Licked"), and in was good to see this outstanding future director in FRONT of the camera.
